Panic on the streets of north London... Arsenal and Spurs fans slam clubs after transfer window

Arsenal and Tottenham fans have spoken out at their clubs following the end of the transfer window.

Gunners supporters have complained that despite the club-record signing of Mesut Ozil, manager Arsene Wenger left £50million unspent which should have gone towards player recruitment.

Spurs fans, meanwhile, have petitioned for their ‘strategic partnership’ with Real Madrid to be terminated.

Tottenham announced the deal in 2012 with the sale of Luka Modric to the Spanish giants, promising the two clubs ‘working together in respect of players, coaching, best practices and commercial relationships.’

The reality, however, has seen Madrid swoop the north London side’s top player each summer and on Monday strengthened bitter rivals Arsenal by selling them playmaker Ozil.

That signing was praised by the Arsenal Supporters’ Trust, but the group insisted a complete overhaul their player-recruitment structure after a frustrating window.

‘We welcome the statement of intent Arsenal have made with the signing of a world-class player like Mesut Ozil,’ the AST - who hold a 4.5 per cent equity stake in the club - told the Evening Standard.

‘It is a transformational signing for the club in terms of both transfer fee and wages paid.

‘It is, however, frustrating that once again a window has closed with over £50m left unspent. The AST would like to see all available resources put toward strengthening the team.

‘This summer’s transfer window has also reinforced the AST’s view that the club need to overhaul their boardroom and football management infrastructure so they have the very best set-up to maximise the way in which the modern-day transfer window now operates.’

‘Since we have agreed to form the partnership, Real Madrid C.F. have treated us and our players without respect including “tapping” up Luka Modric and Gareth Bale.

‘The transfer of Mezut Ozil to our top rivals in order to recoup money spent on Gareth Bale is the ultimate duplicitous action and we deserve a fair and mutual exchange between clubs rather than being treated as a feeder club.

‘We ask that the “strategic partnership” that we have not benefitted from be terminated.’
